Silent Cicada is an {{ambient}}, industrial, and noise musician, as well as the founder of an independent netlabel, Black Fires.
----
Relevant tropes:
* AnythingCanBeMusic: His samples have included the creaking of faucet handles, slurping noises, passing vehicles, and his desk fan. It's safe to say that EverythingIsAnInstrument is in full effect here.
* ConceptAlbum: ''Nightshade'', ''AD MORTEM''.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DroneOfDread
* FanWork: Most notably, Yume Nikki Reimagined - a remix album of songs from the video game ''VideoGame/YumeNikki''.
* GenreRoulette: Most noticeable on ''Prisoner's Cinema'', on which the complete lack of transition between HarshNoise, {{Ambient}}, and BlackMetal songs can be somewhat jarring.
* GriefSong: All of ''Ghosts of the Past Will Haunt Us''.
* HarshVocals
* LonelyPianoPiece: ''Eigengrau'' and ''Happening''
* LoudnessWar: Intentionally avoided in much of his work, while some of his noisier releases have intentional audio clipping.
* NeoClassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Often mixes elements of HarshNoise and {{Ambient}}. One predominantly ambient song of his even has HardcoreTechno elements!
* NewSoundAlbum: ''Nightshade'' was his first proper {{Ambient}} album, while ''Filth One'' signaled his move into noise music.
* TextlessAlbumCover: Almost half of his album art, including ''Filth One'' and ''Phantom''.
* {{Sampling}}: Very common in his work. He often samples old PublicDomain material.
* ScareChord
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Was formerly known as Ecks-Acksis.
